Today, Invictus Productions and Dark Descent Records announce February 28th as the international release date for Grave Infestation‘s highly anticipated second album, Carnage Gathers. Invictus will handle the album’s release in Europe and the UK while Dark Descent will handle North America.
Nearly three years after the release of their debut full-length, Persecution of the Living, Grave Infestation return with their follow-up Carnage Gathers. Returning to work with Invictus for this release and teaming up this time with Dark Descent, the album was recorded and mixed with engineer Greg Wilkinson at the infamous Earhammer Studios, producing a vile record that is a sonic push forward. Eight tracks and 40 minutes of violent, unrelenting death metal: the fast parts are faster, the slow parts are slower, and everything is just plain nastier. Grave Infestation continue to pull influences from the likes of Autopsy, Grave, Nihilist, Repulsion, and Finland’s Abhorrence and mold them into a sound that is their own. Combined with Misanthropic Art Illustration’s ominous artwork, this release will be sure to stay glued to your turntable.

BIO
Grave Infestation pulled themselves out of the Pacific Northwest’s primordial decay in 2018 with the release of their first offering, Infesticide, with Invictus Productions and Parasitic Records. Originally formed as a three-piece, the band expanded to a four-piece with the release of their follow-up Infestation of Rotting Death. Since then, Grave Infestation have spread their relentless aural filth and toured throughout Canada, USA, Mexico, Japan, and Europe. Having released their debut full-length in 2022 once again with Invictus and two additional split 7″s with Me Saco Un Ojo and Carbonized Records, the band is poised to unleash their sophomore full-length, Carnage Gathers, this spring through Invictus in conjunction with Dark Descent Records. Pulling influences from the likes of Autopsy, Grave, Nihilist, Repulsion, and Finland’s Abhorrence, the band continues their frantic death metal assault supported by the most dedicated metal maniacs. Live, the band delivers an unrelenting set with no reprieve between songs and a disgusting display of primitive death. 2025 will see Grave Infestation tour Europe for the first time with fellow Canadians, Quebec City’s Sedimentum – a strong recommendation that you don’t miss either band when they pass through your hallowed grounds.
